Steam and country charm return to Belvoir Castle this August

Belvoir Castle will once again host a classic countryside celebration as the Steam and Country Show returns from 23 to 25 August, marking its first appearance in over a decade. Set against the sweeping parklands near Grantham, the three-day event promises vintage nostalgia and lively outdoor fun for all ages.

The show brings together an impressive collection of heritage vehicles from across the UK, featuring traction engines, Showman’s engines, vintage cars, military trucks, classic motorcycles, and more. Visitors can stroll through displays, admire miniature steam models and take in the soundscape of traditional fairground and ballroom organs.

In the main arena, action unfolds with high-speed carriage racing in the British Scurry and Trials Driving Challenge, falconry displays, and vintage vehicle parades. Thrill seekers can witness daredevil stunts on the Wall of Death, while younger visitors enjoy fairground rides, inflatables, puppet shows, and hands-on workshops like sand art.

Rural-themed experiences continue with archery, axe throwing, model construction diggers, and a packed craft and food marquee featuring handmade gifts, local produce, and refreshments. A bar and food outlets will keep guests fuelled as they take in the entertainment.
